Explore the IBM Power Cloud

14 September 2025 - 3 Minute Read

Are you running IBM Power Systems with IBM i, AIX, or even Windows, Linux, Oracle, SAP, or JD Edwards?

Then you already know your business runs on some of the most resilient infrastructure ever built. But when it comes to moving to the cloud, there’s really only one place you should be seen: the IBM Cloud.

Why? Because unlike smaller providers and managed service platforms, IBM Cloud combines public cloud flexibility and scalability with private cloud control and data sovereignty. And with IBM’s unmatched financial stability, you know the cloud you choose today will still be there tomorrow, ready to support your business for the long haul.

Why IBM Cloud Stands Apart

Let’s be honest - every Managed Service Provider (MSP) says their cloud is the best. But when you scratch beneath the surface, the risks become clear:

  • How secure is their infrastructure, really?
  • What happens if their investors pull out or the business is acquired?
  • Do you still control your workloads, or are you handing over everything to a third party?

With IBM Cloud, you get:

Enterprise-grade security backed by IBM’s global compliance and governance standards
Financial stability from one of the world’s most established technology companies
Competitive pricing that surprises customers used to boutique MSP rates
Control & flexibility - your team can still manage workloads directly without being locked out
Seamless integration with IBM i, AIX, Linux, Windows, Oracle, SAP, and JD Edwards

Baby Blue Makes IBM Cloud Simple

At Baby Blue, we don’t just talk about IBM Cloud—we live and breathe it. We’ve helped organisations of every size size, test, and migrate to genuine IBM Cloud platforms, run directly by IBM in secure, purpose-built datacentres.

And if you’re not quite ready to commit? That’s where our IBM Cloud Proof of Concept (PoC) service comes in. Think of it as a test drive:

  • Rapid setup of your IBM Cloud environment
  • Hands-on support from our IBM-certified consultants
  • Short-term commitment (no lengthy contracts - switch off anytime)
  • Knowledge transfer to your team so they gain the confidence to run IBM Cloud directly

What About On-Premise?

Not every business wants to move entirely offsite. That’s why IBM also offers on-premise cloud solutions - where IBM installs the infrastructure in your datacentre, and you simply pay for the capacity you use. It’s the perfect blend of control, flexibility, and modern cloud economics.

Who Is This For?

  • Businesses running IBM i or AIX workloads on-prem and curious about cloud
  • IT leaders who want to compare IBM Cloud vs third-party MSPs
  • MSPs evaluating IBM Cloud as part of their service stack
  • Teams who want more control and less outsourcing in their cloud journey
